Ram Eco-Diesel vs F150 2.7 TT - Davis Dam
You just know it's not gonna be close! So which is better? Horsepower or torque lol. (The answer is both, apparently.)

A 32" diameter tire spins approx 630 rpm at 60mph. If it takes 300hp to climb a hill at 60 mph it doesn't matter whether it is a turbine engine spinning at 34,000rpm @ 47ft lbs of torque or a gas engine at 5000rpm and 320ft lbs or a diesel running at 2500rpm and 640ft lbs or some ridiculous engine at 16rpm and 100,000ft lbs by the time the proper gearing is done all will be putting down the same torque and rpm to the rear axle.
The difference is the engine with the proper gearing spinning at 34000rpm will be much lighter then the engine and gearing for the 16rpm engine so will most likely be able to haul more payload then the 16rpm engine. Same goes for gas or diesel engines.
